The highboy chest consists of two halves, with a moulded waist to the base section.
The Irish Georgian chest on chest comprises eight drawers, with three smaller drawers and two full-width drawers to the top section, and a further three drawers to the base section. The drawers are oak lined, constructed with hand dovetail joints and finished with cock-beaded fronts. They also retain their original working locks, with working key to some of the drawers. The top four drawers were not designed with locks. The secretaire drawer and drawers to the lower section retain the original lever locks (with key). The drawers are decorated wit...h later very good quality brass swan neck handles & fretwork escutcheons.
Disguised as a third full-width drawer to the top section, is a lockable pull-out secretaire desk section. The drawer front fall is secured by its original iron hooks on either side of the shaped drawer lining and opens to form a writing surface, held in place by red cord. The secretaire interior comprises eight pigeonhole slots, with decorative domed ceilings and a combination of eight drawers, with two featuring elegant shaped fronts and the original brass knobs. The drawers sits either side of a ‘cubby hole’ with a mirrored door, which retains the original glass and lever door lock (with key).
The bottom chest of drawers’ section comprises three long graduated drawers, which all retain their original locks, with working key. The Irish Georgian chest on chest sits on a simple moulded apron, terminating on its original moulded bracket feet. The chest retains its original backboards. The oak tallboy is a two-piece chest; it dismantles into two sections for easy transport and access into the house.
Condition Report:?Nominal old use marks to the cornice, leading edges, frame, sides, drawer bottoms, and writing surface, but nothing significant considering the age of the item. The oak tallboy chest has been cleaned and traditionally French polished by hand in our workshop, to a professional standard, therefore, the finish, colour and patination is of a high standard. The original oak lined drawers are constructed with quality hand dovetail joints, around a moulded drawer frame. The drawer fronts are decorated with later top-quality brass swan neck handles and fretwork backplates. The drawers close flush to the frame. They also retain their original working locks, with working key to some of the drawers. The top four drawers were not designed with locks. The secretaire drawer and drawers to the lower section retain the original lever locks (with key). The secretaire desk compartment pulls out smoothly and is secured by red cord. The highboy chest stands on its original bracket feet and incorporates the original backboards.
